Wang Jing nodded slightly. What Yang Kan said did make sense. One of Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Yu was Emperor Taizu who founded a unified dynasty, and the other was Emperor Wu who had outstanding martial arts skills and almost swept the world.
Both of them have extremely far-sighted visions. It is impossible for them to be like the princes who were defeated by Wang Jing before. They knew that they could not destroy the powerful enemy in a short period of time, but they had to consume most of their strength for confrontation.
If they know that the opponent cannot be eliminated in the shortest time, they will turn around and annex other princely forces that are easy to solve.
The big fish eat the small fish and grow rapidly.
Among the many Jiangnan princes that Wang Jing knew, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Yu were undoubtedly the most capable monarchs.
For example, Liu Yu, if he went east to annex Xiao Daocheng of Southern Qi and the Sun family of Eastern Wu.
When Wang Jing wanted to go south again, the difficulty increased tenfold.
Anyone with a normal mind knows the gap in ability between Liu Yu and Xiao Daocheng and Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan.
"What you said makes sense, but our army has just experienced a war and needs some time to reorganize its troops and horses, and Jiangdu Province also needs time to develop..."
Wang Jing said casually.
In addition to this reason, there is another important factor, which is the land of Shouchun.
Before going south, Wang Jing must first capture this place and stabilize the western and northern borders.
"However, we can now make preparations for going south!"
"Fine!"
Wang Jing called out Fan Yin, who was habitually standing in the corner, and said: "In a time of great strife, if you want to rise from the ranks of princes, the big strategy is nothing more than making friends at a distance and attacking at close quarters. In the following time, you have to spend half of your experience on inquiring. News about other princes in the south of the Yangtze River!"
"For example, if the Sun clan of Soochow is further south and occupies Suzhou, Songjiang, Hangzhou and other places, if they go south in the future, they can send envoys to form an alliance with them and attack Soochow together... This requires more detailed intelligence!"
Fan Yin said respectfully: "I understand, I will follow the king's instructions!"
This discussion.
There are two main purposes. The first is to systematically understand the situation in Jiangdu Province and Jiangnan, and the other is to formally introduce Gao Ying to the civil and military forces around him. So after saying these things, the discussion ended quickly.
The next few days.
The news that Wang Jingnan came to Yangzhou also spread. The newly conquered lands such as Lingbi Mansion and Suzhou Mansion, Pei Sui and Xie Hui who were ordered to lead the army to attack Dingyuan, and important memorials from the three major provinces.
They all began to be delivered to Guiyan Palace in Yangzhou in a steady stream.
As the head of the Secretariat Supervisory Office, Gao Ying's duty is to sort out the memorials sent from various places and report them to Wang Jing in order of importance.
This kind of responsibility does not seem to have much power, it is just a sorting memorial.
However, during the sorting and sorting process, Gao Ying was able to gain a more detailed and three-dimensional understanding of the entire Huai Army through a large amount of information sent from various places.
Many times, the height a person can reach often depends on his own vision.
After staying in this position for more than half a year, even an ordinary person can have an extraordinary vision and be qualified to serve as a local official in various prefectures and counties.
Therefore, every position of ordinary clerks and minor officials in the secret prison can receive the attention of many powerful people and wealthy families.
Many wealthy families in Sihong dreamed of sending their children to the secret prison. On the one hand, they could get close to the king. If they could be taken seriously, it would mean that they would be in the emperor's heart, which would be of great benefit in the future.
In addition, I want to train in the Secret Supervisor to improve my abilities.
Gao Ying was the head of the Secret Supervisory Office, but within a few days, she deeply realized the importance of this position.
When Gao Ying got used to the Huai army system.
Wang Jing visited Dugu Jialuo from time to time in Guiyan Palace, hoping to get closer to her as much as possible. She was a stunning beauty and a famous queen in history.
Now that she has been sent to the palace, Wang Jing will naturally not let her go again.
However, because Dugu Jialuo has a somewhat tough personality, Wang Jing cannot be as domineering as when he brought Li Zu'e into the palace last time, so he can only get familiar with him for a period of time.
Except for the harem.
Wang Jing asked Su Wei and a group of clerical officials to prepare information on various prefectures and counties in Jiangdu Province. Since he said he would go to various places for inspections, it was natural that he was not lying.
Jiangdu Province is related to the future march to Jiangnan and is the logistics base for the future southward journey, which is very important.
If this place is unstable, then Wang Jing will have to retreat even if he has the military advantage after going south.
This day.
Su Wei and others are ready.
When Wang Jing was about to inspect the place with his personal guards and officials from Yangzhou Prefecture, Gao Ying brought a memorial to Wang Jing.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Wu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Huaibei Province and the Right Minister of the Ministry of War, has recommended five generals. Here are their detailed information. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"
Wang Jing raised his eyebrows, was this a memorial from Zhu Wu?
This strategist who was born in the rough land of Liangshan had followed his elders very early, but because his abilities could not keep up with the expansion speed of the Huai army, he slowly fell behind.
Gradually he was replaced by Bu Zhi, Han Xizai, Xie Hui and others.
However, Zhu Wu still has some abilities. After years of training and growth, although he cannot reach the height of the ninth level, he can still serve as the commander of the provincial capital and control the mobilization of garrison guards in the province.
The three major provinces of the Huai Army have been established in name, but provincial officials have not yet been in place.
The power of the province is divided into three parts. The chief envoy is in charge of government affairs, the inspector is in charge of justice, supervision, and the trial of various cases, and the capital commander is in charge of the health stations and militia in the province.
At this time, only Zhu Wu had successfully stepped into the provincial level and became the capital commander in charge of a provincial guard post. He also had the title of Minister of War, and Wang Jing had entrusted him with an important task.
If he continues to make great contributions in the future, there is a certain hope that he can enter the central government and serve as the minister of the six departments and the minister.
The purpose of his performance this time was mainly to recommend talents.
"The five generals...it's them!"
Wang Jing took the memorial, opened it, and his eyes moved slightly.
The five people recommended by Zhu Wu were also leaders from Liangshan, and the leader among them was Lin Chong, nicknamed Leopard Head! There is also a red-haired ghost Liu Tang, and the three Ruan brothers.
The memorial briefly summarized the experiences of the five people after their arrival.
Lin Chong came from the Qingxu land north of Pizhou and never entered Liangshan. For three or four years, he wandered around various places and did not easily seek refuge with others.
Not long ago, the Northern Qi soldiers and horses defeated Liangshan. Many Liangshan leaders died in the battle. Qingzhou was in chaos. Lin Chong was preparing to go south to escape the war. On the way, he met the three brothers Liu Tang and Ruan.
Liu Tang and the three Ruan heroes all broke through after Liangshan was destroyed.
These five people had a good relationship in Liangshan, so they went south together. After entering the territory of the Huai Army, they saw that there was no war in the territory of the Huai Army, the people were stable, and there was an acquaintance named Zhu Wu in a high position.
So they had the idea of joining the Huai Army...
